Government and fuel duty 6p a litre

[Meat-Head]

yes i do,if govt need money why not charge every car the same the same rate to use the road or admit it is no longer a road tax.

regardless of how much emmissions it pumps out it still has to put rubber on the road and as such should pay its way,

I blame the cyclists for all the potholes.

[DOUGALMCD]

I was moaning at ?1.38 a litre now it's ?1.43 for diesel and the price of a barrel still hasn't changed. Just bend me over cameron you ****.

[DOUGALMCD]

Just to let you know that it's $85 a barrel now but prices still aren't coming down.

It was easier than starting new thread

No, prices won't be going down due to the fall in the price of oil. What is likely to happen is that since the government will be collecting less revenue with the price being slightly cheaper of late I'd expect the government to increase the tax by around 2p per litre quite soon..

Chief Secretary to the Treasury Danny Alexander will call on major petrol and diesel distributors to drop their prices further in light of recent declines in the cost of oil.
Oil has fallen from about $115 (?72) per barrel in June to about $84 per barrel, a decline of about a quarter.
In comparison, petrol prices in the UK have come down from a high of about 131.7 pence per litre in the summer to 124.22 pence.

BBC News - Danny Alexander calls for fuel price cut

However, right at the end

However the group representing independent fuel retailers said the announcements would further endanger local petrol stations.

So the retailers would like us to keep on paying high prices to keep their profits higher, the government would like us to pay more to keep their duty and VAT high. Are we supposed to feel sorry for them and out of shame agree to pay more?

Come to think about they are using 4 wheel car on mars without fuelling and I wonder why we can not use that technology hear on earth?????

Because they got no f'ing capitalist up there. Branson's rocket blew up so there won't be any money grabing **** there for a while yet!
An opening for Gaston or Kalipo depends who gets there first

Prices over here went down but depending were you live,, in the capital prices vary between 151 cents and 145 per litre petrol and around 141 and 135 per litre diesel. The cheapest i've seen was 139 cents for petrol and 132 for d diesel. Now there's some garages selling boggy petrol and diesel it's called stretching and it's cost a lot of people new engines or a lot of money to put them road worthy. Insurance company's state your not covered if you buy the boggy juice.
